The pen writing quickly stopped, and Hernipolis took a breath: erecting a statue in front of the administrative building is already a great honor. Since the establishment of Dionia, there has been only Merses alone. With this honor, and it was erected after his death; the reason why Dionia was able to rise rapidly within a few decades mainly relied on a powerful military. The shining generals of the stars supported this powerful force. Pillars, but there has never been a legion or fleet named after a person’s name. If the first fleet can finally be named successfully, Sekelian will undoubtedly be the first person in the Dionian army, even if he is killed immediately, perhaps he You can accept it...

When Hernipolis was distracted, Daves’ words continued: "Midolades was appointed as the temporary commander of the First Fleet, and Stefakas was the commander of the Second Fleet during the war. The commander of the first squadron of the fleet, Lamarcas, has made outstanding achievements. This time he assisted Sekerian to defend against the offensive of the Persian fleet. He was appointed as the commander of the third fleet during the war. Midorades fully commanded the three fleets. , Continue to attack the Persian fleet, completely control the sea dominance of the Eastern Mediterranean, ensure the transportation safety of the fleet, and provide assistance for the army to attack Persia!"

Henipolis keeps handwriting, but he thinks in his heart: Said that it was a temporary takeover, but it made Sekerian and the crew of the First Fleet feel better. I am afraid that His Majesty does not think Sekerian can Fortunately, the promotion of Lamarcas of the First Fleet should make the crew of the First Fleet feel better.

"Write to Alexis, let him inform the troops to prepare for the attack! Write to the chief executive of Naukratis, let him arrange the transportation fleet, ready to go east at any time!"

Daves stared at the ostriches running through the bushes in front of him. After a while, he turned around and looked down at Hernipolis and said loudly, "Henie, are you ready? We are going to Persia!"

Henipolis immediately said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I have long been looking forward to this day, and the most brilliant chapter in my biography is there!"

His left hand pointed to the east vigorously.

In March, after the news that the Greek coalition defeated the Persian and Asia Minor army in Mysia spread, it caused a huge shock to the people of western Asia Minor. There were riots in many cities and towns that were in the wait-and-see state before, driving out the local Persian garrison and publicly proclaiming support for Dai Onia.

And Leotichides accepted their surrender? While asking them to provide food supplies. At the same time, after letting the troops rest for a while, he soon advanced to Frisia, the base camp of the Persian army.

The Persian Asia Minor army was originally an improvised army. After suffering a disastrous defeat, some troops in low morale refused to continue fighting? Some did not even ask Fanabazos for instructions? They directly led the remnants to return to their areas. .

Fanabazos, whose strength has been drastically reduced, faced the rapid approach of the Greek coalition forces? He did not try his best to defend himself. Instead, after a conspiracy by his colleagues, Jason was arrested in the name of a traitor.

Jiason, who finally fled back to Phrygia, was too late to plead? He was executed? In the battle report to the king of Persia, Phanabazos argued that he was given the sole responsibility in the battle with the Greek coalition forces. The sudden rebellion of the Greek mercenaries was the main reason that led to the defeat of the battle.

The Persian commanders and generals used Jason as a scapegoat and wanted to escape the guilt of defeat? But they panicked the Greek mercenaries who returned from the defeat? Several mercenary team officers called "Jason" Initiating a rebellion under the banner of "The General's Revenge"? Although it confirmed the unreliable accusation of the Greek mercenaries? But it caused the situation in Phrygia to completely lose control? As a result, Fana Bazos had to lead the remnants to continue to retreat hastily.

The Greek coalition forces successfully occupied the center of Phrygia Gerdium Leotichides did not continue to pursue eastward and deep inland pursuits, but after raising a lot of supplies locally, they left a garrison. At the end of May, the main force turned around and headed south, and the soldiers pointed directly at Lydia? Did not encounter any effective resistance along the way? By the end of May, the Greek coalition forces quickly entered the area around Thades, the important town of Lydia.

The Leotich-style rapid march thwarted the Persian garrison’s attempt to divert the wealth of the region? And the strong military of the Greek coalition also frightened Thadde’s defenders? They offered the city on their own initiative. surrender.

The Greek coalition forces did not continue to attack after occupying Thades, but to repair the area. At the same time, Leotichides was also waiting for the arrival of the man he had requested from King Davos.

In early June? Leotichides led all the coalition generals and some officials of the original Lydia out of the city to greet the Diorian envoy.

The Dionian messenger is not one, but a group of people. The head was an old man. Although he was gray-haired and old-fashioned, he looked resolute, and his gestures were quite majestic.

"Master Proseus, I'm really sorry, I'm a little late!" Knowing Leotichides's withdrawn character, the old man proactively said after seeing him, "More than two months ago, I received your majesty’s order to come to Asia Minor to take over the area you conquered. However, it took some time to wait for a group of officials sent here to be selected by the Royal Palace Administration Office. Originally, we were planning to land in Ilion. As a result, I heard that you had captured Geldium and were marching south, so we diverted and landed in Eritrea (a seaside Greek city-state east of the island of Caios. After the Greek coalition defeated the Persian army, we fell to Dionysian. Ya), hurry up all the way, although I have encountered a little trouble, but I finally saw you in time..."

Leotichides finished listening, but said dryly: "Thank you, Asia Minor is indeed a vast territory, and marching here is far more time-consuming than in Italy or Greece—"

The staff officer Muklu quickly said: "Master Capus, we have long been looking forward to your arrival! With you in the rear, the Greek coalition forces will have no worries at all, and you can rest assured and boldly continue eastward!"

Capus was originally a person who didn't like to talk much, but after serving as the district chief for many years, he has changed a lot. In addition, he is old and has a more peaceful mentality. Facing such occasions is easy. , He said humbly: “I’m new here and I’m completely unfamiliar with everything here. I need some time to be familiar with, and I need your help and support. But I can assure you that I and the officials behind me are not far away. Coming here is not to enjoy, but to follow your Majesty’s instructions, do your best to ensure the stability of the conquered area, and do your best to ensure your logistics supply, so that you can attack Persia with all your strength! Because defeating Persia is our common wish , Are you right?"

The last question was what Capps said to the administrative officials who followed him.

"Master Capus is right. Defeating Persia is the common wish of our Dionia and allies!" The officials responded in unison.

Leotichides gave a rare smile and said: "Master Capus, please let me introduce you to you--this is the military commander of the Piotsia Alliance, Ipamirunda."

"But General Ipamirunda who commanded the Thebes to defeat Sparta in the Battle of Leuktra?! Alas, it's an honor to see you!"

"I heard that Master Capus was the hero of the Persian expedition. The reason why we dare to attack Persia today is also inspired by your heroic deeds!"

"Ashamed! Ashamed! I was just a soldier following your Majesty. Without your majesty's superb command, I am afraid I would have long since become a bone buried in this foreign land."

"...This is General Iphikratus of Athens."

"Is it General Iphikratus, the famous Athens general who pioneered light infantry tactics in Greece and defeated the Spartan army many times in the Corinthian War?! I am honored to meet you!"

"Master Capus, you are so complimented! I heard that as early as when you were fighting in Persia, you began to use light infantry tactics to fight the Persians. I also learned from the tactics of your Dionian army. Coming."

"At that time, it was your Majesty who forced us to practice light infantry tactics. We were not happy at the beginning, but after using it proficiently, we found that the effect was very good! You can abandon the inherent Greek military tradition, actively learn, and be able to follow the Greek The actual situation, the creation of light infantry tactics unique to Athens, is amazing!"

"...This is--"

"This one does not need to be introduced, I know, the chief general of the Arcadian Alliance, Lu Komedes! When I went back to the Senate to report 4 years ago, he happened to be visiting Turei, and we also participated together. Your majesty’s banquet."

"Master Capus, I happened to observe your debriefing in the Senate at the time. I was very surprised! There are a large number of fierce and brutal Gauls living in northern Italy, where Master Capus has served as the chief executive for many years. , Not only kept those areas stable, but also allowed those backward Gauls to actively learn from the Greek civilization and actively integrate into Dionian. This shows that Mr. Capus has the ability!"

"Master Lu Komedes praised me too much. In Dionia, there are many regional chiefs who can integrate local indigenous people into Dionia. Master Assistes in Egypt has outstanding talents in this regard. I hope Hades blessed, the people here can cooperate with us very well to overthrow the tyranny of Persia and create a better future together! "

……

After everyone introduced each other, Mukru led the crowd back to the city, Leotichides and Capus walked in the forefront.
